Muddy Photos...

Do you know, I'm STILL smiling about Sunday - it was SUCH fun. Can we do it again this weekend please???

So here are some photos. And a bit more info.

We’re meant to be a team. Really we are. So we have T shirts. They say ‘Got-a-Sec?’ on them because that’s what we’re called. Fit Mark says he’s happy to be part of the team but, really, we’re beginning to wonder…. Take a CLOSE look at his T shirt. The fact that he’s facing the wrong way says a great deal.

Fit Mark ran a LOT quicker than Ice Cream Sian and me. Over an hour quicker. Although now I’ve uploaded my clever watch thingy stats, our ‘moving’ time was actually only 1 hour 54 minutes. YAY!!! Under 2 hours!!! YAY!!! We knew we’d been stuck waiting at a bottleneck for a while, but we’re THRILLED to clock under 2 hours.

And before Fit Mark says it: Yes, we know if we hadn’t stopped at the bottleneck we’d have been more puffed and gone slower. Yes, we know we stopped to look at the view. Yes, we know we usually stop at some point anyway. But we can still call it ‘under 2 hours’ can’t we? Well, we are anyway…

Fit Mark nearly always spots the cameras – and smiles, like this:

(Oblivion, May 2011 - and it's very possible he's smiling because I'm about to sink...)

This time he was Concentrating Hard. Look!

Honestly, he should run with us, because we had FUN!

First of all there was mud…

Then there was deep mud…

Then there was the slidey mud…

And Ice Cream Sian just kept on smiling….

Yes, we did a lot of talking. Yes, we would have been quicker if we'd gassed less. But it was such FUN!

And we did make it to the end:

And the Muddy Tub of Love...

You're right - the water was a little murky. Fair enough though - there had been 1250 people in it before us. It was still hot though - bliss!

And then there's this. Fit Mark posing for a photo at the end. Not only is he VERY clean, but that looks suspiciously like a very young, very fit 'team' to me... Hmmm. Ice Cream Sian - I think we may have been dumped!

And a final final note: This morning I found mud in my ear. It's Wednesday. So that's after one hot bath, three showers and a swim since the Mud Runner.

Memo to self: Get a better loofah.
